The ‘Y-3’ tephra is a crucial stratigraphic marker within the central Mediterranean region that falls close to the Marine Isotope Stage 3/2 transition and a cooling event proposed as a correlative of the North Atlantic Heinrich Stadial 3 (HS3). Consequently, this tephra offers great potential to ass...
